Hello @TLRailUK - are there any trains running between St Albans City and Kentish Town today? Mixed messages between website and ticket app, so I’d appreciate a response 🙏

Thank you @Scottwilsonecho for this lovely tribute to my dad. A loyal servant of @TheNorthernEcho (and to @Boro ) - he even made sure we brought a copy to his hospital bed each day. And naturally, he'd ask us to show him the back pages first! https://t.co/ZtdowrvJRq

My father, the former sports journalist Ray Robertson passed away yesterday, aged 92. Dad covered @Boro for @TheNorthernEcho and other papers from the 1960s until 2009 Our family hope that his wonderful soul is now floating in peace across his beloved North York Moors. 💜 UTB

So, @easyJet I book a flight and 2 car rentals with you. The flight is cancelled while we're sitting on the runway. There are no alternative easyJet flights for three days. You refuse to refund the car hire. Wow. I guess I won't be making the mistake of trusting you again. Bye.

This week #CTAPod📣 caught something @contagious. Luckily for us, it’s their golden Co-Founder @ContagiousPaul. He talks to us on the manic unlock, zero-based creativity, agencies as agitators, the 'meh'-taverse, Cannes, Nordic socks & more. Hear 'ere: https://t.co/dMFOaKBAde📣

Here's an interview I did for the spectacularly named No Wanky Bollocks site: a life lesson, a rant and some creative advice...

A little fuck-up on an empty plane that made me question myself led to a startup that’s still going strong nearly 20 years later.

Terrible experience failing to fly to Nice with @easyJet via @LDNLutonAirport. Flight cancelled while we were at the actual 'gate' - no tannoy announcements, just EasyJet staff yelling instructions we couldn't hear. Not fair to direct us to the app when the wi-fi barely works 😠

Not sure what I feel most miffed about. @Boro's lacklustre performance or @SkyFootball turning the commentary into a Radio Sunderland borefest for the first 20 minutes

Wow @TLRailUK Not only are you terrible at running a reliable train service, you just don’t give a monkey’s gonad about your passengers. Just been booted off a crowded and delayed train at Farringdon so that you can make up the time to Bedford. Thank god I WFH most of the time 😤

For all its batshit faults, Twitter is my favourite app - the random joy, serendipity, news & community spirit outweighs the dodgy stuff. @contagious has been lucky to partner with brilliant folks in Twitter marketing teams around the world, and they’re in my thoughts today

For the love of god, can we have a General Election? Country needs a reset. Tories are the incoherent drunk talking only to themselves at the tail end of a wake.

At a time when superhero movie franchises reign supreme at the box office, it’s curious to see the marketing industry underestimating and underinvesting in its own superpower: creativity. V. interesting report here.
42% of marketers in 34 markets saw their comms as being ‘original & impactful’ while a confident 8% saw their comms as being 'iconic & a cultural talking point', finds new global study by WFA, @contagious & @observatoryint. 🔴 WFA member? Get your copy at https://t.co/Y3BXjlsmS1
